Publicly posting DMs from a main account is distasteful and classless, regardless of your argument.
Sam Altman tells me he is worried that "bad actors" could try to use AI for world control and "full enslavement of everyone else"
Meanwhile, his project Worldcoin is creating a database of all humans by asking you to scan your eyeballs in exchange for his proprietary money

I've basically switched to GPT-4's API as ChatGPT is too nerfed via RLHF and all the other "brain damage" done to the model to protect users. I get why this was done.

AGI is not a God with divine powers.
There will be no omniscience, omnipotence, or omnipresence.
AGI power will be directly constrained by compute, bandwidth, latency, and will have fundamental constraints on what problems can be solved in polynomial time.

My current stance on AI is:
Fucking stop.
Find some other route to the glorious transhuman future.
There’s debate within the AI alignment community re whether the chance of AI killing literally everyone is more like 20% or 95%, but 20% means worse odds than Russian roulette.

Even if Meta doesn't do this, it is inevitable that someone else will.
Open-source models of this caliber are inevitable.
The decision is whether it is done by a US-based company or an adversarial state.
Meta wants to open-source a GPT-5-level model and seems dead-set on open-sourcing right up until AGI. I want to be clear about what this means:
There is no kill-switch. If something goes wrong--an agent gets out of control or a bad actor weaponizes it--there's no easy way to

I’m now 6 months in on repairing the damage, and feel better at 35 than I did in my late 20s:
- Gone to the gym 4-5X per week to get fit
- Taken up extreme

AI doomers conveniently overlook the fact that China has a literal plan for achieving AI dominance by 2030.
@chrisprucha
These are not alike. The incentives differ.
Both, i) the alignment problem and ii) AGI getting in the hands of private actors (if alignment was solved), are much bigger issues for China, an ideological, authoritarian government than they are for the US.

“it’s unethical not to lie”
I find it distasteful, almost unethical, to say this when you have 18 million subscribers.
Hard to explain why, but with great reach comes great responsibility. Potentially killing someone else’s nascent project reeks of carelessness.
First, do no harm.
